Definitions
- the present invention relates to a filter connector.
- a filter connector is an arrangement that is commonly, used in various applications, such as in electrical detonator circuits, to control electromagnetic interference ("EMI") effects.
- the filter connector arrangement includes an electrical connector device with a filter member associated therewith.
- a ferrite barrel is used as the filter member.
- the ferrite barrel increases the inductance of the firing circuit to provide protection against EMI effects.
- An end elevational view of such a filter connector arrangement is shown in Figure 1.
- the ferrite barrel F is a generally cylindrical member having a pair of bores B i , B2 therein. Each bore has a respective axis Ai , A2 extending therethrough.
- the cross sectional configuration of each bore B i , B2 in a plane perpendicular to the respective axis A i , A2 thereof is substantially cylindrical.
- Each bore B i , B2 receives an electrical connector C therein.
- the connectors C terminate a firing control circuit and provide a receptacle for the pin terminals of the airbag detonator circuit.
- Suitable for use as the connector C in Figure 1 is the connector manufactured by Du Pont Connector Systems and sold as Jumbo PVTM connector. United States Patent 3,370,265 (Berg) discloses such a connector. This patent is hereby incorporated by reference.
- This connector C exhibits a generally rectangular configuration in a plane perpendicular to its axis.
- a second problem is generated when the barrel is overmolded, or surrounded by an encapsulating material.
- the present invention relates to a filter connector having a ferrite barrel with a bore therethrough and an electrical connector therein.
- the connector has a substantially rectangular cross sectional configuration in a plane perpendicular to its axis.
- the cross sectional configuration of the bore through the barrel in a plane perpendicular to the axis thereof is substantially rectangular.
- the term "rectangular" is to be construed to encompass a connector and a bore that is square in cross sectional configuration.
- the connector has a base with a pair of wings upstanding therefrom.
- a gate having a substantially rectangular configuration is attached to one of the wings.
- the gate is foldable with respect to the one wing to close the bore through the barrel when the connector is received therein.
- a gate is attached to each of the wings with each gate having a substantially rectangular configuration.
- Each gate is foldable with respect to the wing to which they are attached to a position which closes the bore through the core when the connector is received therein.
- Figure 1 is an end elevational view of a prior art filter connector using a ferrite barrel having a cylindrical bore
- Figure 2 is an end elevational view of a filter connector in accordance with the present invention in which the ferrite barrel has a rectangular bore;
- Figures 3 and 4 are respective sectional views taken along section lines 3-3 and section lines 4-4 in Figure 2 illustrating in plan and side elevation the structural details of the connector device used in the filter connector arrangement in accordance with the present invention;
- Figures 5 and 6 are sectional views similar to those of Figures 3 and 4 illustrating in plan and in side elevation a modification to the connector device of Figures 3 and 4.
- FIG. 2 shows a filter connector arrangement generally indicated by the reference character 10.
- the filter connector 10 includes a ferrite barrel 12 having bores 14A, 14B therein. Each bore 14A, 14B has a respective axis 16A, 16B extending therethrough.
- the filter connector 10 further includes an electrical connector device 20 received within each bore 14A, 14B.
- the bores 14 A, 14B in the barrel 12 exhibit a substantially rectangular configuration in a plane perpendicular to the respective axis 16A, 16B thereof.
- a connector 20 is shown in only one of the bores. Moreover, it should be realized that the connector 20 is closely received within the bore in which it is disposed, with the spacing surrounding the connector in Figure 2 being provided for clarity of illustration. The close receipt of the connector 20 within the barrel helps prevent entry of encapsulating material into the bore during overmolding. As used throughout this application the term "rectangular" is to be construed to encompasss both rectangular and square cross sectional configurations.
- FIGS 3 and 4 are sectional views through the barrel 12 illustrating the connector 20.
- the connector 20 is generally similar to the device disclosed in United States Patent 3,370,265 (Berg) which is incorporated by reference herein.
- the connector 20 has an axis 20A and includes a base 22 having a socket 24 disposed at the forward end thereof.
- the socket 24 has a spring biased bowed beam 26 therein.
- a crimpable wire ferrule 28 is provided adjacent to the rearward end of the base 20.
- the connector 20 is modified over the device shown in the above-incorporated patent to exhibit a pair of wings 30A, 30B formed along each lateral edge of the base 22 immediately rearwardly of the socket 24.
- the upper portion of each of the upstanding wings 30A, 30B is folded along a respective fold line 34A, 34B to define resilient fingers 36A, 36B at the upper extent of the wings 30A, 30B.
- the fingers 36A, 36B' act against the barrel 12 to hold the connector 20 in place.
- a single gate panel 38 is foldably attached to a selected one of the wings 30A, 30B, as the case may be.
- the gate panel 38 is substantially rectangular in configuration. As shown in Fgiures
- the panel 38 when folded along the fold line 40 with the associated wing so as to overlie the base 22, the panel 38 serves to close the bore 14A, 14B in which the connector is disposed to prevent the ingress of overmolding material. No further arrangement need be provided to seal the bore.
- the connector 20 shown in Figures 5 and 6 is generally similar to that described in connection with Figures 3 and 4, with the exception that except that except that each of the wings 30A, 30B has a gate panel 38A, 38B defined thereon.
- the gate panels 38A, 38B each have a substantially rectangular configuration.
- Each gate panel 38A, 38B is foldable with respect to its associated wing along a respective fold line 40A, 40B.
- the panels 38 A, 38B cooperate to close the bore 14 in which the connector 20 is disposed. As a result the ingress of injected plastic overmolding material into the bore 14 is precluded.
